Rutter’s introduces video gambling games at its first store in central Pa.

Now you can stop by one Rutter’s in central Pennsylvania for milk, gasoline and a chance to win big.

The York County chain announced today it has opened its first video gambling terminal at the store at 2125 Susquehanna Trail in York with Marquee by Penn, a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, Inc. The chain said it plans to open 10 of the rooms this year, with more scheduled for 2020.

“Rutter’s has evolved as a business over the years, from a dairy to convenience stores, from smokes and cokes to fuel and food service,” explains Scott Hartman, Rutter’s president and CEO, in a statement. “We are constantly listening and learning from our customers, and VGTs are one example of our progressive model.”

In the next several months it will add terminals at stores in Port Royal, Duncansville and West Manchester. Locations are licensed for those 21 years of age and older with five machines permitted in a designated video gaming room.

Rutter’s operates about 70 company-owned stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia. The company has said it has identified slightly less than one-third of its stores as ripe for inclusion in Pennsylvania’s truck stop gambling market.

Truck stop gambling emerged as one of the last compromises in the legislature’s massive 2017 expansion of legal gambling.

Video gambling terminal suppliers, looking at this as the last big expansion of legalized gambling in Pennsylvania for years, wanted the right to be in licensed liquor establishments: bars, taverns and private social clubs. There are about 15,000 of them around the state.
